Review of Baby Face (1933) by Dave H — 17 Aug 2013
Noirish cross between Pretty Woman and Working Girl, but far less comedic or endearing than either. It cops out a bit at the end, with some token sentiment, but for the most part it's blackly cynical - an amazingly upfront (for the era) take on sexual exploitation - of and by both genders.
The first act is a cracker, and the railcar scene unforgettable. Not fun, but very interesting.
